Good morning dear friend , hope  start  your day with Smiles and positive thought.  God bless you and your family.  Much love

Good- bye and God speed,  George. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed. 

Love is what the world needs and what life should be all about.  Don't you agree?  

Some people act one way in public and a completely different way at home.  Do you know anyone like that?  

And some people just like to make fun of you!  Now I know you don't know anyone like that, do you?  

How about we all just kiss and make up?  I love you for being my friend and I hope you enjoy my pictures, babbling and nonsense.  

 and kisses

Smile... how much is a smile worth?  Depends on if you are on the sharing end or the receiving end, I guess.  

It depends on what you are doing to cause them to smile at you, like smelling the flowers, I really enjoy smelling the flowers.  

Oh!  Busted!  What are you looking at?  Yes, I love taking time to smell the flowers, don't you?  But I do love sharing a smile even more.  

How is your morning so far? My chores
today are few except to do some dusting.
Why do I put that off. ha  Happy
Tuesday, George! *hugs*

Music Monday!  Do you like music?  Do you listen to it?  Do you dance?  

I love Oldies and older Country music and we listen to SiriusXM quite a bit.  My girls both like Choir in school.  We used to dance all the time but since Hubby's hip surgeries we do not go dancing anymore.  

But music will always be one of the keys to my heart.  Even though I can't really sing, remember the words or play an instrument.  What do you play?  

I have videos from when my granddaughters were very young playing all sorts of instruments, horns, drums, etc.  Actually, Michelle is now taking virtual guitar lessons from Mexico every week.  

Now, if I can just keep my plants alive, I will be happy.  I need to turn on the music outside and water them.  Monday Blessings to you!  

... while we wait for Fall, George:) *hugs*

Sunday morning and the sun is shining.  Blessings from God are also shining down on you today!  

Every day should be about LOVE.  I hope you know how special you are and that you are loved.  

Friends, family, same or different, it should always be about being loved and loving each other.  Blessings to you as we begin this new week.  

I am all dressed up for a trip to town on Saturday.  Are you going anywhere today?  Have any fun plans?  

Since we only have 4 dogs, what do you think about getting a new pet?  I would like to put netting over the back yard and just let it fly free!  

Nothing would be more fun than going dancing this evening.  Do you like to dance?  We love listening to SiriusXM, 50's Gold, Oldies, and of course lots of Classic old Country Music. 

Aren't dreams nice?  I guess I will just play in the garden!  I sure hope I make you happy as I love being a gardener!  

"The Necessity of Summer"
...but eat it quick, George!

July is way more than half over!  July is the month for vacations!  July is usually the perfect month for picnics!  

If you live in Texas in 2022, July is the best month to leave the state.  My DIL and granddaughters have been in Mexico where the days are about 75° and the nights around 55°.  Sadly, they have to come back to our HOT weather because school starts soon.  

I do hope you are enjoying the month of July with dress up and picnics or that you have been on a lovely vacation.  If so. where did you go?  

I feel like all I have done is spin my wheels this month... and watered and watered and watered the plants and the grass.  If you don't hear from me again, it is because my water bill showed up in the mail and I fainted!  

I am sure I will need a day at the beach!  Hey, maybe I can bring some water back with me.  I wonder how much my car can hold.  Any ideas?  OK, my plants probably won't like salt water.  

Maybe a trip to fresh water like Crater Lake.  Can you imagine the cost of gasoline from Oregon to Texas?  I guess I'll just have to pay my water bill.  However, Multnomah Falls is one of my favorite places.  

Welcome to Texas!  I wonder how many people moved here, paid way too much for a house, and have nowhere else to go are loving our 109° temperatures with no rain in the near future.  I read stories on NextDoor Neighbor all the time about moving companies holding their belongings for more money$$$.  

If you live here, I want to know what is for breakfast and what time it is usually ready.  Oh, and let me know the address too.  

Maybe later in the day, we could swing out over the waves.  Now that looks like a lot of fun.  Have you ever been in one of those great big swings?  

And when the moon comes up, I would love to take a stroll on the beach.  That is, unless the mosquitos are as bad there as they are in Texas.  

Or we could just sail around in the warm breeze far away from mosquitos.  Doesn't that look like fun?  Now, back to reality... we start the day in Texas at 82° and at 5:30 in the afternoon in Texas, it is 107°.  My garage started at 90° today and was as high as 103° yesterday.  Welcome to Texas!  

Yesterday I put my knee knockers on and got all ready to run errands in this heat!  Bank, Herb Mart, Pack & Post, Rosa's taco Tuesday.  You know the usual stuff.  

I showered and washed my hair.  Do you like my new "do" style?  Sure is hard work getting ready to leave the house.  

I wasn't even going to work but put on some mascara.  Also put on my rings, earrings, and necklace along with my smile of course.

We were only gone a couple of hours and boy, does that heat take a toll on my hair!  It was even hard to breathe by the time we got home.  All the jewelry came off and after taco salad my tummy was full.  Then it was time to read my book.  

Even Hubby decided it was too hot to start a project after eating his taco salad and decided to take a nap!  Now that Tuesday is over, we have to get dressed again today for the Glaucoma doctor.  

I sure hope you can find a shady spot today because our hot sun can burn the skin quickly here.  We are trying to get our watering done in the early morning before 8 am or late night after 7 pm.  We set a record of 109 yesterday and today is supposed to be our hottest day.  Fires near Glen Rose are extremely hot and causing evacuations.  Prayers please for them.  

We also try to keep enough water in all the bird baths that are up high or on the ground full for all the animals to get a drink or take a bath.  

It is so much fun to watch them make a splash.  They don't stay long and then you have to be ready to refill their watering hole.  

After all, there are others that might need a drink in this hot weather too.  It is always nice to share!  SMILE!  You might just be on candid camera.  

Gosh I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Did you have a party or go to one?  Well, I am off to water as we have 3 days of 107° or higher.  

The grass is no longer green.  It is the color of straw and feels like that when you walk on it too.  So no matter how high the water bill is going to be, I must put the sprinkler on in areas with no shade.  

I feel so sorry for the birds and bunnies and all of God's creatures.  So I have to keep bird baths filled with water and bird seed in the feeders.   Hope you can find a cool spot under the trees or in the air conditioner.  

Hope you're having a good Sunday,
George. *hugs* -di

Hey there, did you know it was Sunday and the weekend is almost over?  

Are you talking to us?  We are just watching to see what is happening around us and what all the commotion is about.  

I'm still trying to get rid of unwanted company from the party the other night.  That's what is happening here.  

And I am just laying around trying to recover from the party and waiting for cooler weather.  I hope I will find some energy soon.  Now they are saying we will be 107-109 and then drop back to 104° for a few days. 

I am waiting for rain!  Has anybody seen any?  We had 5 minutes of a light sprinkle and it went east of us.  Please send some much needed downpours our way!  Don't forget to invite us to the next party too.
